Being a Gujju is an advantage for NaMo. He is neither a northie nor a southie nor some other thie.

That is playing a positive role in increasing his acceptability pan India.

He went the extra mile and started his speech in Marathi in Mumbai, Telugu in AP etc.

I did not hear his recent speech in TN (Trichy). But as per the news, the crowd was something witnessed by AIADMK and DMK only.

Watch him wishing Onam in Malyalam to Keralites:

The reason is that he always wanted to be National leader, he had clear vision about himself, others like Thackreys,Mulayam,Maya, mamta and amma know that they don't have similar caliber so they tend to be regionalistic people

On a topic related to PSUs going kapoot, NaMo said "It is not Government's business to do business".

That was bingo. The Govt is not there to compete and beat others commercially. It is there to create a conducive environment, to facilitate businesses to grow, ensure fair competition etc. You cant be the creator of the game and compete in it. You cant have the cake and eat it too.

I think everyone knows this but it had to be NaMo to put it in words.

The point is debatable, of course. It was the PSUs and Nehru's socialist vision which resulted in the creation of these PSUs, the Navratnas and the Miniratnas.. they have contributed a lot to giving industrialization a push start.

What NaMo needs to be careful about is that the "Feku" tag doesn't stick. The daggers aren't yet openly out for him yet.

I took a screenshot and saved it.. thinking of posting it on Subbu Swamy's page.. .. he will most likely re-post to the world.

It's a typo. That much is obvious.

The header, in much bigger font size, says the right thing.

The first line in the first paragraph says the right thing.

The typo is in the third paragraph. I'm sure TOI will fix it online, provided it is brought to their notice by some reader.

Any politician who is actually serious about sanitation issues is, of course, good.

BTW, BJP had objected when Jairam Ramesh had earlier made a similar statement, claiming that he was being disrespectful to Hindus. RSS workers, at that time, to protest, went and urinated in front of Ramesh's house.

The reason is that he always wanted to be National leader, he had clear vision about himself, others like Thackreys,Mulayam,Maya, mamta and amma know that they don't have similar caliber so they tend to be regionalistic people

what r u saying? that mulayam, mayawati do not want to be the PM? or do not have the caliber? And Modi wants to be and has the caliber?

I don''t know since when he is harboring the ambition to be a national leader. What I do know is I did not know anything NATIONAL about him till few months back. And then he declared his arrival himself. Quite deservingly.

see, its like this. Railways entered some telecom related business. they had their rail network all over india and got the right-of-way over this network automatically. its not exactly a cakewalk for a private player to obtain a r-o-w. this r-o-w is first-and-foremost requirement for this sector. u make this smooth, the company is set to go and grow. u make this difficult, all other readiness is useless. the competition becomes unfair. I hope i was able to get the point across.

There is a way to say something. There is also a way how a message can be related in a particular manner. Then again there is the question of who says it and the grand tradition associated with his group behavior.

Modi says more focus needed on sanitation. This is what it means when he says he will build toilets before temples.

Jairam Ramesh made an utterly valueless statement when he remarked there are more temples in India than toilets. This despite the fact his own party did nothing to solve the issue for 50 fucking years.

Jairam Ramesh's statement was neither a solution for any problem nor was it a fair appraisement or treatment of the issue of sanitation in India. Modi's statement is instead a pragmatic vision without demeaning the concept of either the toilet or the temple.

Is Congress panicking? RG had earlier made a statement that bhajapaa shall soon be reduced to a single-state party. And now he reportedly says that congress' existence should not be doubted. Whats the truth?

Mr Gandhi, who is on two-day visit to Gujarat, is meeting Congress workers from Saurashtra and North Gujarat in Rajkot today.

Media persons were not allowed at the meeting.

According to Mr Madam, Mr Gandhi told workers that they "should not worry about 2014 elections - it is not a do or die situation and after the 2014 general election there would be no doubt about the party's existence, as Congress is a permanent political party".

Speaking in Ahmedabad yesterday, Mr Gandhi had said that Congress was going to win the 2014 elections.

The Congress vice president asked the state unit to work hard to strengthen the party in Gujarat and said, "We should not keep 2014 elections in mind, but serve the people. Highlight UPA government's initiatives like RTI (Right to Information) and RTF (Right to Food).

"We should not be power-oriented and the party is able to serve the people even without being in power," Mr Madam quoted Rahul Gandhi as saying.

Meanwhile, state Congress chief Arjun Modhvadiya said that Rahul Gandhi's Gujarat visit boosted the morale of Congress leaders and workers.

Mr Modhvadiya said that Mr Gandhi told the partymen Congress was capable of winning elections in Gujarat, but it needed to be strong in the state.

Is Congress panicking? RG had earlier made a statement that bhajapaa shall soon be reduced to a single-state party. And now he reportedly says that congress' existence should not be doubted. Whats the truth?

Given that Congress is not in a position to win in Gujarat, this is the raaga that RaGa is singing to Congress workers in Gujarat to cheer them up.

When Modi speaks the whole of India listens.. He spoke about building toilets and immediately all the media houses started looking for info, which brought up these graphs.. When Jairam said the same thing in a negative manner nobody took much notice.

Once you are part of a national level party, your ambition is national, it is like working in central and state government. Thackreys, Mayas and Mulayams are regional goondas and have regional ground and very well know that there is limit to what they can achieve.

so every leader of national level party has national ambition and no leader of a regional party has national ambition?

I think Jairam made a stmt saying that xyz are purer that abc. Modi's statement, though it may be well thought out and pre-planned to generate controversy, is not same as Jairam.
